.net - Array.Sort() Doesn't Correctly Order Target Array
Apr 13, 2012
I'm using the following code to read in a highscores file with the score written first and the player's name written to the next line, and then display the top 3 scores or fewer if there aren't 3 scores written to the file. A highscores display should have the scores sorted with the highest first so that's what this program tries to implement.
Array.sort() isn't doing a damn thing. In fact, the program's not even reversing the arrays like it should either. I've tested array.sort() this way with the names and scores arrays given explicitly and it works fine. I thought maybe it was still reading the data as string even though it's declared otherwise but it rounds off decimals when I change the array type to Integer so I'm pretty sure it's not that.
I have no idea why reading the data in from a file changes how it's sorted. My teacher didn't understand what was going on either. Does anyone know what's going on here?
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form2
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
I am loading an array with data at form load from a text file. I then display that data in a label box. When a user clicks a button I want to sort the data in ascending order. I have a sort code right nowbut it is not correct at all! Another problem i dont know if it will correctly sort becuase the data from the input file is like this: C2 CA D4 S9 HA C4 CQ D3 DA DQ .....AND SO ON AND SO on up to 52 like a card deck, here is my
Sub Sort() ReDim RollsCC(NumOfPlayers - 1) For N As Integer = 0 To (NumOfPlayers - 1)[code]....
Here I am creating a temp single dimensional array, merging my 2d array into it, and then attempting to sort it by Rolls(N,1), which is a integer 1-6, Everything seems to be working right with the exception of this.
RollsCC.Sort(RollsCC, 0, 1)
How would one specify a numeral sort based on the first character in the string? im aware that I am switching Rolls(n,1) and Rolls(n,0) information during the sort.
I am using the Array type .Sort function to sort my array.By default it places the result Array into Ascending order Least to Greatest How do I change that to Descending order Greatest to Least?and How do I change it to Closest to logic? or does that not exist?Assume there is an Array of Numbers 0,13,21,-2,4,5,1.34 and I want them to sort closest to 0 or some other arbitray value; the Output should look similar to:
Assume I have an array myArray1 = { A, B, C, D, E, F, ., T}I have another that contains a subset of the elements of myArray1 but where the order may vary
I'm trying to sort an array based on a structure but whenever I do this, it basically erases all the data in the entire array.I have verified that the array is populated correctly, it is when using array.sort that everything returns blank.
I need to sort an array containing a list of words and search the same using binarysearch. For certain reasons, the word-list must always be sorted using the sorting-rules of "en-US" i.e. American Regional Settings. The code will run under various international Operating Systems and of course this will mean that the word-list will be sorted differently according to the local Regional Settings in use. One problem could arise on a computer/device running with Lithuanian Regional Settings. Why? Because the letter "Y" in most languages is sorted like X-Y-Z while in Lithuanian, the sort order is I-Y-J. This behavior would create havoc to my program.

However, in means of flexibility I believe Guffa's answer is the best one. Why? Let's use another example:In German, the letter Ö is sorted Ö-X-Z while in Swedish and Finnish, the order is X-Z-Ö. In Estonian the sort order is Z-Ö-X. Complicated, isn't it? Guffa's solution will let me force Swedish sorting-oder (changing CultureInfo) on a device running under German Regional settings. Using Comparer.DefaultInvariant with its association to English wouldn't help in this case, probably the letter Ö would end up with O. Therefore my vote will go to Guffa.
In this case I'm trying to create a number analysis app. I'm required to declare an array and get the data for the array using ten text boxes. Why, because my instructor said so.
My problem is my event is returning zero. Therefore I believe my code is somehow flawed.
My approach is to create functions that calculate the required metrics. I have only tried to code one function to date. If I can get help making one function work, I will be able to do the others .
Public Class Form1 Dim decScore0, decScore1, decScore2, decScore3, decScore4 As Decimal Dim decScore5, decScore6, decScore7, decScore8, decScore9 As Decimal
I have a file C:\level1.txt that has a long row of numbers 0 or 1 to represent a green or red tile drawn.For example here is the txt file I am using right now: [code]This is the EXACT formating of the txt document.The issue on hand is I am unsure if this data gets written to the array correctly, since all my "tiles" are red.Here is the code I wrote: NOTE: Just add a 250 by 250 picturebox1.[code]
I have an array of people stored in a custom structure array... how can i copy this array to a temp array so that the temp array has all the same values as the original custom array?
I created this command from a few examples which reads the text from a StreamReader, Trims, splits on EoL, and returns a unique list. My next command is a sort. I couldnt figure out how to add a sort to this command. Its really not that important but I was curious if there�s an easy way.
Additionally if there's a better way to take a text file into an array or collection I'm all ears.
I have profitMarginArray(29,3) <29 is actually a variable, but figured I'd put in a number for the example> and what I need is to retreive elements 0 and 3 sorted on 3 in some way shape or form. The biggest problem is element 3 isn't unique so there could be 5 that have the same value (56.34 for instance) so a sorted list is out.
I'm trying to sort an arraylist the code is below.
the value.sort() is returning the following error - Failed to compare two elements in the array. At least one object must implement IComparable."[code]...
Why would the controls not be in the order that they were added. I am adding the controls below, the first one to be added is a label, would expect to see it at the top,but it appears below the other linklabels[code]...
Im looking to dynamically populate a Placeholder with data sent from a textbox on the same page, but in reverse order i.e. the latest post goes to the top ratehr than the bottom - kidda like Twitter or Facebook.The code I have so far is below but I keep geeting an error stating that "BC30311: Value of type 'System.Collections.ArrayList' cannot be converted to 'System.Array'." [code]
I have to order a table following a logical order but I cannot find the appropriate ORDER BY clause.To simplify I have 2 fields field1 and field2
1 record : field1 contains �2� and field2 contains �1� 2 record : field1 contains �1� and field2 contains �2� 3 record : field1 contains �2� and field2 contains �2�
I am trying to create the following program Store in a 1d array a set of 5 place names and in a 2d array the distances between the places. Ensure that the order of the places is the same in both arrays. When the names are places are input the distance between them is displayed. If they are not both in the table a suitable message is displayed
Dim town(1 To 5) As String
Dim Dist(1 To 5, 1 To 5) As Integer
Dim First As Integer

I think the best way forward is pass a parameter to the function findnumber.
ow to sort an array so i've checked d i see only sorting for one-element arrays.is it possible to sort an array with 10 elements per row? or do i need to use a table?also, how to sort an array numerically? all the sort i tried are sorted textually. if my array contains 1 2 & 12 the sort gives me 1 12 2.
I was looking for a function I need in internet but I didn't find it... I need to sort a multidimensional array(matrix).. for example
Original matrix
1,b,3 2,c,5 3,a,1
I need a function, lets call it magic() xD with 2 arguments, the matrix and which col to sort first...so..the result of magic(originalmatrix,1) could be..
I have a semicolon delimited string (e.g. an EMail Address List returned from a database or a textbox). How do I separate the string into an array, sort, and remove duplicates? The code below works to separate the string and sort the results, but doesn't remove the duplicates. I could probably then loop through the array and copy to a new array to eliminate the duplicates, but there must be a better way to do this using the VB.Net Array, String, and Collections handling classes.
Dim s As String = "Test; Test8;Test1;Test2;Test3; Test8;Test4;Test5; Test6"
I have nine always changing values that are strings I need to know how to sort them. I have each of the nine values each on it's on panel. I want to make the panels stack highest value to lowest value. Shot of writing every possibility of combinations and let's say that would take forever.
